(in general we do not embed fonts, so as to simplify our legal obligations.) So no joy there.

Thanks for all your infos.
The fonts are embedded not on the odt file (which one could do with LibreOffice) but by
writer2xhtml which inserts both fonts and an external CSS stylesheet containing among others the @font-face declarations (it's named
styles.css in the EPUB).

This pristine EPUB is not considered as finished. As I added an external stylesheet I have some adjustments to do. Also, on the corresponding calibre thread, Kovid Goyal gave me a very easy way to correct the EPUB (easy once you know it, but I had been unable to find it), just by renaming the font file and its path - and without tinkering uselessly with the manifest.
One of the very good things of the calibre Editor is that it has a very sharp eye and gives some more warnings that we did not find previously in Flightcrew and Epubcheck. Good to use.
